Game Thread: Illinois vs Texas Tech

[NASchamp]

Why hasn’t Big Z been in lately? Mirk needs a rest and we could use the extra rebounding.

Dumb challenge. 0% chance they overturn that. Has to be conclusive.

It is amazing how easily Toppin, at 6'9", scores so easily over the athletic 7'2" Big Z who is pretty good at blocking shots.

Good challenge late, everything replayed under 2 anyway.
Ah forgot you lose a timeout

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Looks like off Toppin's fingernail to me

 

[aveseaboy]

Smart call. Long timeout either way

 

[IlliniFan42]

I've never liked the challenge limit for successful challenges. If you keep winning them you should keep getting them.

Why is our rim protector still sitting on the bench?

Wait that was off toppin???

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Did that ball even bounce out of bounds?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

A poster a few posts up said it was a good challenge? You said it was dumb. Ahhh....staring into what a coach goes through nightly.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Too easy for Andrej.

He can’t guard Toppin

AS absolutely eating Anderson up!

 

[PopChampaign]

Toppin is … very good

 

[illiniguy24]

I could not be more impressed with Toppin. What a stud

[Epsilon]

Toppin can score 40 for all I care- as long as we win

 

[sacraig]

Toppin is … very good

 

[NarrowJ]

Stoj heads up there!!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Oh what a lurk by Andrej. Might be the play of the game that steal

 

[PopChampaign]

Love. This. Team. We’re in for a treat this year fellas.

 

[Oracle21]

FT attempts are 19-2 IL lol,

Texas Tech shooting 2 FTs till there was 2 minutes left in the game is going to be talked about after the game for sure

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Horrible sequence there.
